Fact Check Out

 

The spotlight cuts through the dim

Into it the salesman 
from yesterday swaggers in

Another slick pitch

fine tuned over time
to lure in the pigeons

But it's a different flock today

Fact checking his every pitch

real time on their hand held devices

Still our hero keeps dancing 

Though it's not easy selling
to skeptical consumers

who ain't buying

And when your financial existence

is based entirely on commission

this is a fatal condition 

for the well dressed dinosaur

who had no clue he was dying

So it went

for the salesman once great

Extinction by internet

was his inevitable fate
